The Collin County Council on Family Violence is calling on men to take a stand against domestic abuse at its White Ribbon Rally on Thursday.

City officials from across the county will attend the event, which includes national speakers, local volunteer opportunities and live music. Male attendees will also be pinned with a white ribbon when they take a pledge against violence.

The men’s rally will strike a similar tone to one earlier this year led by Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings. It’s the first of the council’s signature events in October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

The rally is free and will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Collin College Spring Creek Atrium, 2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway.
